Hah! I didn't mention the Prince because I don't like to hold personal opinions over the whole movie, but he is pretty gag-worthy. *fake lisp* "I am Princth Cathspian."

lol, it was just the whole presentation in the preiew I saw. ride up on the horse, centre screen looking down at little girl... just sooo much 'I'm the one all the little gils are going to squee over, come and adore me'
oh well. No reservation was to my taste.... and now Indy. but thats a sad rollcall

Anyway. No Reservation was good, though I'm not much of a romantic comedy person (can't you tell? XD). I loved Indy. I'm just very critical of the different aspects of a movie, especially the story and dialogue.
I try not to take too much from the previews, but that was definitely what happened through the movie. First he criticizes them for being young, then goes after the girls like a freaking rabbit. I just put it up to really bad characterization. Though in the book, it was basically "Hello, I'm the Prince, let's go to war so I can get my throne back even though you have no idea who I am!"

YES. I didn't like him at all this time around.

I think they stuck the books a bit more in this one - in the first one, Aslan is a sexist bastard in the books, but they toned it down in the movie and let the girls participate in the big battle scenes, etc. It doesn't surprise me, considering who wrote it, but it still grates on me from time to time.
